Minor change: 'Da Cutta' for Catas?

[Cheah18]

Wondering if Catas could be modded to use their trademark knife - the Devil's Claw AKA 'Da Cutta', in melee. Them prodding tac marines with their shotgun muzzles and apparently having power melee seems a little off.

It would look cool too.

That is all

[Lulgrim]

That's probably why they put a couple of knife & pistol models in the original Cata squad. But no, now that there are only shotgun models, no the guns can't suddenly change into knives and back.

Yeah we have nothing to do with it sadly. Owning space marines with shotguns look really stupid

[Orkfaeller]

I "love" how they thrust their guns in melee as if they had a bajonett on it.

Lol agreed, its more of a poke anyway

I like to call it, "The Gentle Cata Caress of Death" - they tickle HI with their power melee.

[Surprise Attack!]

I don't know if this would be a popular idea, but working around the fact that the animations of the models can't be changed, can we add a bayonet to the front of the shotguns? Or would that be so non-canon that people are about to swarm me and...uh...

...I'll just shut up and leave now.

40k Shotguns dont have bayonet lugs!
How dare to propose something like that, Heresy!

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how good a bayonetted Shotty would even look like.
Tried to google pictures, but didnt find anything.

Catachan Jungle Fighter often fight with carabine and the knife.

But as with the shotgun they use it as in the game, with no knife or bayonet.

Maybe the squad leader instead of the pistol could have the carabine/shotgun (a two hand weapon with a sword, like the Lord General).
Still something.

I like the idea of bayonet though.

Or at least add a bayonet on the shotguns.

The Lord General can carry a rifle in one hand because his bionic arm

To be honest, I think a Catachan fire-ing a Shotgun like a pistol would look pretty horrible.
And I doubt its possible to scale the Catachan model over the LG's animation skelleton without alot of work.
